Sleep Apnea

Obstructive Sleep Apnea is when breathing is disrupted during sleep for short periods due to an obstruction in the upper airway. 75% of people who snore have Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

  • Witnessed episodes of breath pauses or apnea during sleep
  • Daytime sleepiness or fatigue
  • High blood pressure
